About the event
The Sensory-Friendly Performance is a specially curated event designed to provide an inclusive, relaxed environment for individuals with sensory processing challenges, including autism. The performance offers slight modifications to create a welcoming atmosphere, such as a relaxed entry/exit policy, adjustments to lighting and sound levels, designated break areas throughout the theater, and additional staff to assist with audience needs. Pre-visit resources, including a visual schedule, are also available to enhance the experience.
This one-time-only performance opens with George Balanchine’s Divertimento No. 15, a regal ballet set to a sparkling Mozart score, featuring a dynamic cast of dancers. The program continues with Alexei Ratmansky’s energetic Concerto DSCH, a thrilling work set to a piano concerto by Shostakovich. This performance is designed to engage and delight, with choreography that captures both the exuberance and grace of classical ballet.
